My Mum LOVES JCPenny!!

My Mum arrived Monday night and we have already had 2 full days of shopping at JC Penny - 2 different ones at that! This is a photo of me carrying all of the items we wanted to try on. My Mum has just had an operation on her foot so I was getting a very good workout! I have been having a lot of fun shopping :) I apologize for the lack of cards on my blog lately, I just can't find the time!!! Having too much fun with my Mum. I will be popping in every now and then and maybe a card will be made but no promises. My Mum has flown all the way from the UK (5,000 miles) and so I want to spend all of my time with her. I'm sure you understand ;)

Kitchen - Phase 2

TA-DAAAA!

This is why I haven't been blogging lately - LOTS of very late nights refacing my kitchen. I am SO happy with it. We got the door from Reface Depot online they sell the same door that Home Depot do but for a fraction of the price. As you can see we started with the countertops (shown in the before photo on the right)

Let me know what you think :)

Lizzie Anne Design Challenge #22

I have been wanting to use this cupcake since I got it! This is for the Lizzie Anne Design challenge this week. The twist was to add some circles. This card was a challenge for me, I had to tell myself to stop - don't add anything else. I pat myself on the back for that but I am itching to add something - I don't know what but something! I'm not good at clean and simple - I need BLING! Hahahaha! i bet it has some added before this day ends :D

...and the winners are...

Julie a. & Sandyh50 WOOO HOOOO! You are the winners of my blog candy this month CONGRATULATIONS!
Thank you to everyone who took part - it was cool to find out that there are so many other Lizzie Anne fans out there. I am completely hooked (if you haven't already realized that is!!!)

I need both you ladies to contact me with your addresses so that I can get these goodies in the post to you ASAP!

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE! Only 7 days until my Mum gets here!!!

BLOG CANDY TIME!

IT'S BLOG CANDY TIME {scream!}

I am SO excited about this one I'm not just giving it away once...I'm giving it TWICE!!! That's right - there will be TWO drawings! (oh my I sound like one of those BUT WAIT commercials!!! hahaha!) So make sure you tell all your friends!

All you need to do is tell me which Lizzie Anne set is your favourite :) This 'Fun to be Floral' is actually one of my favourites - nice thick lines for glittering ;) My ultimate favourite though is So Swirly - SO versatile.
